WordPerfect can't open ~/.wprc/.wp8x.set

[Alec Smith <sweetin@ix.netcom.com>]

Every time I try to start WordPerfect as a user, I get the error "Unable
to open /home/sweetin/.wprc/.wp8x.set" The file is there, and is zero
bytes long. However, I can start WordPerfect as root and it'll work just
fine, with no errors during load. I tried copying root's .wp8x.set file to
the user directory, changed its ownerships, and still no luck.

Any idea what to try?

Thanks,
Alec
